Bulls Nation

ClutchPoints’ @BrettSiegelNBA on potential suitors for a Kristaps Porzingis trade: “Among the many teams the Warriors have contacted since the start of the season, ClutchPoints has been able to confirm with league sources three teams in particular: the Bucks, Bulls, and Pelicans… …While willing to give up Myles Turner for Porzingis’ contract, the Bucks have wanted draft compensation from the Warriors, something that isn’t on the table, sources said. Golden State has held firm that if it were to absorb Turner’s contract for Porzingis and another player, presumably Moses Moody, the team would need extra compensation from Milwaukee, and there really is no interest in trading Moody.” (via clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-sto…)

To say the Bulls hate playing on the road this season is an understatement. To their credit, the NBA gave the Bulls a pretty rough schedule to start the season. 6 of their first 8 games were against teams that finished top 5 on the east last season. 6 of those 8 games were also on the road. Nobody exactly had the Bulls as one of the top teams in the east this season, but they've barely shown any effort to compete when they play away from the United Center 😬 📉 43-PT loss against Raptors 📉 35-PT loss against Celtics 📉 14-PT loss against Celtics 📉 19-PT loss against 76ers 📉 30-PT loss against Knicks That's an average losing margin of 28.2 PTS. The only road game the Bulls showed up was against the Bucks when they won by 7. But they also gave up 125 PTS. In their 8 games, they've been outscored 1,037 to 893 and currently have the lowest net rating this season at -17.2 👀 The growing pains of a team in a rebuild...

Adam Silver is reportedly open to the idea of shortening NBA games to 40 minutes. That would be a massive change to one of the league's longest-standing traditions and could completely alter rotations, minutes and the way coaches manage games. Shorter games could potentially create a faster pace and make every possession feel more important. But changing from the NBA's traditional format would obviously spark plenty of debate. Would you want to see 40-minute NBA games? 🤔 (via @SIChrisMannix)
